Hello everyone,

After quietly following the forum for several months, I would now like to ask for your tips, feedback, and suggestions on our floor plan.

Here is a brief summary of the key details:

Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size – 880 m² (reserved but not yet purchased)
Slope – none
Details in the image. Two stories are allowed. A “Tuscan” style is explicitly mentioned in the development plan as an option.

Owners’ Requirements
Style, roof shape, building type – City villa, Tuscan style
Basement, floors – no basement, ground floor, upper floor
Number of occupants, ages – 2 people (34 & 32), planning for 2 children
Room needs on ground floor and upper floor – Ground floor with office; upper floor with 2 children's rooms, master bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom
Office: family use or home office? Home office about once per week each
Overnight guests per year – 10 guests per year
Open or closed architecture – partially open
Traditional or modern construction – modern construction
Open kitchen, kitchen island – open kitchen with island
Number of dining seats – 8 seats
Fireplace – double-sided fireplace as room divider between dining and living area
Music/stereo wall – no requirement; TV mounted on the room divider
Balcony, roof terrace – covered terrace under a “Tuscan” style roof
Garage, carport – carport under a “Tuscan” style roof
Utility garden, greenhouse – no need
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, feel free to explain why:
  • Guest bathroom must have a shower
  • Shortest possible route from utility room to kitchen
  • “Tuscan” roof preferred for appearance, covered terrace, and carport function
  • Covered terrace facing southwest for evening sun
  • Dressing room in front of bedroom to avoid waking partner when getting up early
  • Double-sided fireplace as room divider for a cozy atmosphere in living and dining areas
  • Living area should be at least about 14 m² (150 sq ft)

House Design
Planned by – planner of a construction company + do-it-yourself
What do you especially like? Why? Above wishes are implemented, layout of the children’s rooms
What do you dislike? Why? Bathroom upstairs perhaps too large, little storage except in attic, under the stairs and possibly in utility room, living area size possibly too small (maybe reduce office size in favor of living area?)
Cost estimate according to architect/planner: approx. 250,000 (currency not specified)
Preferred heating system: gas heating

What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
General opinions on the floor plan, alternative ideas for the upper floor layout

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

What does this mean for you? Is there a requirement for an 8 sqm (86 sq ft) room to be available, as specified by the employer?

Why the doors were sized small,

... definitely seems questionable to me. The standard size for interior doors is about 88.5cm (35 inches), which would leave a clear opening of around 82cm (32 inches). For a nominal size of 76cm (30 inches), the clear opening would be roughly 69cm (27 inches), which is usually only used in bathrooms in social housing. When planning a floor plan, these dimensions do make a difference, and there’s often some compromise made with undersized dining tables and similar elements.

Yes, a room is required according to the operational agreement. Unfortunately, a dedicated PC will also need to be installed there. However, this is probably better for being able to work with a reasonable level of concentration, especially if children are expected to be around in the future.
